The fundamental values of solidarity, equality, participation and social justice are the cornerstones of the process of building inclusive learning and sustainable societies, where people are given opportunities to develop and to cooperate as free and equal individuals.
SOLIDAR members work towards creating an inclusive learning society based on openness and democracy, where everybody is a learner and has a chance to participate in lifelong and life-wide learning opportunities. An educated and well-informed citizenry forms an indispensable part of a democratic society and is a prerequisite for active citizenship and to tackle cultural poverty.
